Hello Diddy,
Just got back from the hospital. What I wrote earlier was:
Yes, it's the same family. I've got James Leitch born c.1651 in Dundee and married there in c.1678 to Christian Kathren Michie. They had three children, all born in Wemyss:
Andrew bapt. 2 Mar 1679
Isobell bapt. 14 Aug 1681
Christian bapt. 2 Sep 1683
Andrew married Isabell Ballantine (b.1685 in Beath) on 10 Jun 1706 in Beath. They had six chidren:
Elspet bapt. 27 Apr 1707 in Beath
Margaret bapt. 1709 in Dunfermline
John bapt. 9 Mar 1712 in Aberdour
Andrew born 17 Jan bapt. 20 Jan 1715 in Aberdour
William bapt. 22 Aug 1718 in Aberdour
Isobel bapt. 12 Jul 1726 in Aberdour
James Leitch (b.1651) was my 7x great grandfather.
Hope this helps,
Jack

Hello Diddy,
Alloa is a fair hike from Dundee and from Wemyss, being to the west of Fife well up the River Forth near Stirling.
Don't get too worried about the discrepancy in the marriage places. It was quite common for two ceremonies to take place, one in the bride's parish and the other in the groom's where they were to live.
Further to my earlier post, William Leitch was my 5x Great Grandfather, born in Aberdour 1718 where he married Margaret Bower and they had four children, all born in Dunfermline:
Andrew b.24 Jun Bapt. 30 Jun 1745
George b.30 Sep bapt. 5 Oct 1746
John b.16 Aug bapt. 21 Aug 1748
Isabel bapt.29 Mar 1752.
There may be more but I haven't found them yet.
Regards,
Jack

Hello Diddy,
Andrew Leitch was my 5x great uncle. Have you got all ten of his children?

Hello Diddy,
William Leitch my 5xg g/f was born Aberdour, bapt. 22 Aug 1718 and married Margaret Bower 28 Apr 1744 in Aberdour.
Margaret Leitch born 11 Sep 1742 Dunfermline bapt. 2 Oct 1743
William Leitch born 23 Apr 1745 Dunfermline bapt. 28 Oct 1745
Margaret may have had a twin brother James but I haven't checked that yet.
